Floridians Feel the ‘Sunshine Squeeze’: Nearly 50% Want To Move Due To Affordability

running a scam on the other investor/investors.

only to move back in the summer when the heat and humidity make their new electric bills arrive and make any new taxes raised on them in NYC seem rather tame by comparison

I have no debt. I own my house and my two vehicles outright and one is electric. My wife and I are on Social Security and I still work part time on a very easy job. Our property taxes are around $700/year because we homestead and get a senior citizen rate on our property taxes. I can't imagine someone with a mortgage of a couple of a couple of a hundred thousand dollars, have a property tax bill of 3-4k dollars a year and add sky high home insurance rates. I don't know how they do it. The cost of renting an apartment has gotten so high, service workers can't afford to live in the towns where their jobs are. Some cities are wanting to build low cost housing just for those people to live near where they work just to keep small business' in town. The state is a shit hole. There is so much bad going on now.

Locally zoning has been loosened up for the construction of ADUs. Basically, it allows a small additional dwelling unit to be constructed on lots with room for it. A lot of them are going up as lower cost rentals to attempt to provide some workforce housing.

I got in here by downsizing in 2019. I would not pay current prices. I do live a good distance from the shore and floodplains, so my insurance costs are not crazy, but certainly have risen. I live on SS, but am fortunate to have a pension as well.

Stories like this remind me of the old Penthouse Forum "letters".

I swear this had never happened to me before, but one night in college, my girlfriend and her roommate came over to study......

They will probably use these as examples of people "fleeing" NY.

Also people can't just leave and why would they go to Florida ? People have jobs, schools, businesses etc.
